What I’m mean is- do you have those voices in your head that say “you’re not a good quilter” or “you’re not talented enough to make that quilt.”

Sound familiar?

I’ve heard many, many piecers give me their quilt top & tell me it’s a terrible. I’ve heard guild members say they’ll never be able to do “difficult” quilts. I’ve heard students say they’ll never improve.

So here’s what I want to tell you- you ARE a good enough quilter! Your work IS NOT terrible! Jump in & try that pattern you’ve always loved but have hesitated about starting.

This is our craft, our hobby! It’s supposed to be fun & freeing & expanding- so squash those gremlins & try that new technique you’ve been scared of….

Great post! This has been a problem for me but it’s something I work on all the time. Just looking back and seeing how my quilts have improved over the years keeps me motivated to challenge myself and try new things.
